鈥楽pamalot鈥� kicks of tonight at Aloha Theatre
The Aloha Performing Arts Company proudly presents “Monty Python’s Spamalot,” the outrageously funny, Tony Award-winning musical that skewers the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Performances run tonight through March 8 at the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu.
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “Spamalot” follows King Arthur and his misfit band of knights on an absurd quest filled with flying cows, overzealous French taunters, men in tights, killer rabbits, and — of course — plenty of Spam. Along the way, audiences are treated to unexpected romance, show-stopping musical numbers, and the irreverent humor that has made Monty Python a cultural phenomenon.
Directed by Vic Pisauro with music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, “Spamalot” combines Broadway spectacle with Python’s signature wit. From the toe-tapping “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” to the hilariously over-the-top “Diva’s Lament,” the show delivers laughs at every turn while poking fun at musical theater itself.
The performers include Jeff Case (King Arthur), Binti Bailey (Lady of the Lake), John Holliday (Patsy), Jason Harbaugh (Sir Lancelot), Bobby Phares (Sir Robin), Chris Brashear (Sir Galahad), Robb Dahlke (Sir Bedevere) and Liam Chemnick (Historian).
The ensemble consists of Caleb Milliken, Kevin Paradez Rodrigues, Lillian Brashear, Taylor Deskin, Tessa Blair, Mikayla Winker, Aliza Leander, Tori Sanford, Arabella Duda and Ash Millr.
Kerry Matsumoto is the assistant director and Tracey Pisauro is the choreographer. Judith Tringali designed the costumes, hair and makeup, while Lisa Weeks is the props master. Dale Ross is the musical director and Erin Deskin is the vocal director. Jeff Rowand is the sound and lighting designer.
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, “Spamalot” has delighted audiences around the world with its sharp satire, infectious score, and wildly imaginative storytelling. Whether you’re a devoted Monty Python fan or new to the Knights Who Say ‘Ni!,’ you don’t want to miss this night of escapist fun and ridiculous romance.
Opening night will also include a presentation by state Rep. Jeanné Kapela, who will present Aloha Performing Arts Company with a legislative certificate recognizing the theatre’s contributions to arts and culture in West 91直播.
Performances take place on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2:30. Tickets are available at alohatheatre.com or by calling (808) 322-9924.
